Produktbeschreibung
Humanity has perished. Following cataclysmic volcanic eruptions around the world, Chayton and Chenoa are the last survivors on the island of Bali. With all influences and obligations of school, technology, and work wiped away, the children journey through loss, survival, reflection, and understanding as they witness the emergence of a new world. What is the meaning of life when everything is gone? Is life worth living? Butterfly is a father's story dedicated to his children. Using his two children as the main characters, the author utilizes the vehicle of loss to create a world where his children are forced to face the extreme challenges of life. Yet, while destruction and loss provide the foundation of the story, Butterfly is a story of hope. From the ashes emerges a world that we all desire: clean blue oceans and rivers, flourishing forests, and pristine air. Life returns to the planet, and we witness this rebirth through the eyes of two young children as elephants and tigers once again roam across the island of Bali. Butterfly is a dystopian novel of hope, a story of love and beauty in a world gone awry. "Reading Butterfly felt like reading an intimate love letter. A love letter to Chayton and Chenoa, yes, but also to Mother Earth and all of humanity. It was vulnerable, honest, and raw. With every detailed description of Bali I felt instantly transported onto the island - an adventure without ever leaving my living room. I cannot wait to see what other journeys Christopher Thompson takes us on." -- Jessica
